6. 8 US fluid ounces = 236.588237 mL

7.

Density = Mass / Volume
1.1132 g/cm3 = Mass / 100 mL
cm3 = mL

Mass = 111.32 grams C2H6O2

111.32 grams C2H6O2 / 62.068 grams C2H6O2 = 1.7935 mol C2H6O2

236.588237 mL Gatorade = .236588237 L Gatorade

[C2H6O2] = 1.7935 mol / .236588237 L Gatorade = 7.5807 M

7.5807 M C2H6O2 is needed to be lethal when mixed with a serving of Gatorade.
